Why It’s a Game-Changer for Pet Enthusiasts

For players who love personalizing their OSRS experience, the Funky Shaped Log is a must-have. It adds a layer of customization that makes your Beaver pet stand out in crowded Forestry events or at the Grand Exchange. The ability to match your pet’s color to your Woodcutting gear or favorite log type is a fun, cosmetic reward that enhances the social and aesthetic aspects of the game.

How to Obtain the Funky Shaped Log

Acquiring the Funky Shaped Log requires a trip to the Forestry Shop, run by the Friendly Forester in locations like Draynor Village, Seers’ Village, or Prifddinas. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need and how to get it efficiently.

Cost and Requirements

The Funky Shaped Log is not cheap, reflecting its status as a premium cosmetic item. To purchase it, you’ll need:

15,000 Anima-Infused Bark: The primary currency earned through Forestry events.
500 Noted Logs of Each Type: Oak, Willow, Teak, Maple, Mahogany, Arctic Pine, Yew, Magic, and Redwood.

Note: Arctic Pine Logs were made available as noted drops from Ice Trolls north of Jatizso and Neitiznot specifically to support this item’s requirements, making them easier to gather for this purpose.

Farming Anima-Infused Bark

Anima-Infused Bark is earned by participating in <

Anima-Infused Bark is earned by participating in Forestry events, which occur while cutting trees across Gielinor (except in the Woodcutting Guild, regular trees, hollow trees, or the Lumberyard). Events like the Woodcutting Leprechaun or Ritual Circle offer bark and bonus Woodcutting experience. To maximize your bark gains:

Join Official Forestry Worlds: Worlds like 512 or 514 are hotspots for group events, increasing event frequency.
Use RuneLite Plugins: Plugins like Entity Hider can declutter your screen, making it easier to spot events in crowded areas.
Participate Actively: Events like standing on the correct ritual circle or pollinating flowering bushes yield more bark based on your Woodcutting level.

With a high Woodcutting level (70+ recommended), you can earn 1,000–2,000 bark per hour in active groups.

Gathering the Required Logs

Collecting 500 of each log type can be time-consuming, especially for high-tier logs like Magic or Redwood. Here’s a quick strategy:

Log Type	Woodcutting Level	Best Location	Approx. Time (500 Logs)
Oak	15	Draynor Village	~1 hour
Willow	30	Seers’ Village	~1.5 hours
Teak	35	Tai Bwo Wannai	~2 hours
Maple	45	Seers’ Village	~2.5 hours
Mahogany	50	Tai Bwo Wannai	~3 hours
Arctic Pine	54	Neitiznot	~3 hours
Yew	60	Edgeville	~4 hours
Magic	75	Tree Gnome Stronghold	~6 hours
Redwood	90	Woodcutting Guild	~8 hours

Tip: Purchase logs from the Grand Exchange if you have the gold to save time, especially for Magic and Redwood logs, which are slow to cut.

Using the Funky Shaped Log

Once you’ve gathered the materials, head to the Forestry Shop to buy the Funky Shaped Log. To use it:

Equip Your Beaver Pet: Ensure your Beaver is following you.
Use the Log on the Beaver: Right-click the Funky Shaped Log and select “Use” on your pet.
Unlock Metamorphosis: The log is consumed, and your Beaver can now change colors using any log type (e.g., Oak, Yew, Magic).

After unlocking, you can change your Beaver’s color anytime by using a specific log on it. No additional Funky Shaped Logs are needed, making it a permanent cosmetic upgrade.

Available Beaver Colors

The Beaver can take on the appearance of various logs, each with a distinct hue. Some popular options include:

Oak: Light brown, rustic look.
Magic: Vibrant blue, perfect for flexing high Woodcutting levels.
Redwood: Deep red, a rare and prestigious choice.

Experiment with different logs to find your favorite look!

Selling Back the Funky Shaped Log

If you decide the Funky Shaped Log isn’t for you (or if you accidentally buy it), non-Ultimate Ironmen can sell it back to the Forestry Shop for 80% of its cost. This refunds:

12,000 Anima-Infused Bark
400 Noted Logs of each type (Oak, Willow, Teak, Maple, Mahogany, Arctic Pine, Yew, Magic, Redwood)

Warning: Ultimate Ironmen cannot sell it back, so ensure you want it before purchasing. They can, however, store logs in the Forestry Shop’s log storage for future purchases.
